A Republican state legislator from Covington is proposing a new law to lower the threshold needed to recall an elected official in Louisiana
Rep. Paul Hollis says the state's recall law is the toughest in the country, requiring signatures from 20% of qualified voters.
Hollis says the recent unsuccessful recall effort against New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell proves that the standard to recall an elected official in a large parish is impossibly high.
He says the threshold should instead be 20% of the voters who actually voted.
